Samsung Galaxy Core Prime to land in the EU next year

The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, which we’ve just reviewed, is apparently headed to Europe in the near future. So far, the handset has only been on sale in India, where it became available earlier this month. But it now looks like it will be up for grabs in the EU too – or at least in the Netherlands.

Over there a few retailers have already listed it on their websites. The device should be out sometime in January, and you’ll reportedly be able to get one for under 200.

In fact, one Dutch store has priced the Galaxy Core Prime at just 160. That’s a bit more than the asking price in India, but those of you who live in Europe are probably already accustomed to paying more for phones than people in Asia or the US.

Since it’s on its way to the Netherlands, we naturally assume more EU markets will get the Core Prime too in the coming weeks.

The handset has 4G LTE support, a 4.5-inch 480×800 touchscreen, a 5 MP rear camera, and a 2 MP front-facing snapper. It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC with a 1.2 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU, aided by 1GB of RAM. Internal storage is 8GB and expandable, the OS in charge is Android 4.4.4 KitKat, and there’s a 2,000 mAh battery in there too.
